In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Without thinking, Su turned around, grabbed the other person's body, and threw him over her shoulder.

"boom!"

A heavy thud was heard, followed by a woman's painful groan and other sounds.

"Uh... Joe Martinez?" Su looked at the 'attacker' lying on the floor with surprise and said, somewhat unexpectedly, "Did you launch a surprise attack to get revenge on me?"

"Who's taking revenge on whom right now? This isn't the time for that. Close the door, someone's following me." Joe Martinez said, grimacing as he struggled to his feet and walked towards the window, cautiously peering out from the side.

Chapter 153 Green? Vincent the Monster?

Is someone stalking Joe Martinez?

To be honest, Sue didn't believe it at first. On the one hand, Joe Martinez was a police officer, and on the other hand, although Joe Martinez was pretty, she shouldn't be someone who would risk being followed and stalked, especially in this relatively upscale community.

But Joe Martinez's reaction didn't seem like she was lying; her nervous and cautious demeanor suggested that someone really was following her.

"White eyes, open!"

Su rolled her eyes instantly, and in a flash, the surrounding scenery came into view. "Someone is really following her? No... the one following her isn't human!"

This is interesting. Joe Martinez is the female lead in Forever. Apart from the two immortals, there are no supernatural beings in Forever. If there really is a supernatural creature following her, it should obviously be from another show.

This is also the butterfly effect of a merging world.

A tall man could be clearly seen staring at his apartment. Strangely, under the glare of the man's eyes, he looked unusually terrifying. His head was covered in hair, and at first glance, he looked a bit like a monkey and a bit like a cat.

Simply put, he's like an orc.

This anomaly caught Su Shi off guard. What the hell is this?

"It's him!" Joe Martinez muttered under his breath, somewhat surprised.

Su asked, "Do you know him?"

Joe Martinez turned his head, his expression somewhat grim: "I've seen him once or twice. I initially thought it was just a chance encounter, but now it seems he deliberately approached me. Strange, I'm nothing special, and he knows I'm a policeman. Why would he deliberately approach me, follow me, and try to rob me?"

"What if it's another kind of calamity?"

Joe Martinez shook his head: "Impossible. His clothes, demeanor and behavior don't seem like the kind of person who would ruin his life for a moment of pleasure. If he really had feelings for me, he could have approached me in a normal way. There's no need for him to sneak around and follow me."

Su pursed her lips: "Since you think he won't rob anything, why are you hiding? Why not just go and ask him directly?"

“I suspect he might be a reporter,” Joe Martinez said irritably. “It’s all because of you. Now not only does the department think I have a relationship with you, but some gossip reporters have somehow found out about your donation because of me and have started secretly investigating me.”

"reporter?"

Su recalled the man's chilling appearance and couldn't believe he would be a reporter, much less follow her because of her relationship with Joe Martinez.

This guy is a supernatural being. Although supernatural beings also need to work and live, why would he follow and stalk a policeman? Is he just bored? He can find out that Joe Martinez is related to him, so why not just follow and secretly film him?

Su thought for a moment, then activated her ethereal ability near the guy outside and released a shadow clone to deliberately pass by him. They exchanged a glance. The guy looked perfectly normal, just an ordinary man. Although he showed surprise, he didn't show any joy at encountering a target. After the shadow clone left, he didn't follow.

This guy definitely didn't follow Joe Martinez for his own sake!

Speaking of which, Su vaguely remembered this supernatural creature that was neither abnormal to normal people nor seemed like an orc. It seemed to be a supernatural creature from a certain drama, but he couldn't quite place it.

and many more……

Su's eyes lit up as she suddenly remembered a long American TV series: Green.

Grimm is a supernatural American TV series adapted from Grimm's Fairy Tales. Grimm is also the name of a special bloodline, and the characters in the fairy tales are actually monsters called Vison.

Well, this monster is somewhat similar to the monsters in our Eastern culture.

Normally they look exactly like humans, but they only reveal their true form when they are emotionally agitated. Their true form is a bipedal beastman, with the most distinctive feature being their head. They can be wolf demons, fox demons, spider demons, and so on. If they don't want humans to see their true faces, then humans can't see them. Only one type of person can see them: Grimm!

Green doesn't seem to have any particularly outstanding superpowers. Once his bloodline awakens and he becomes Green, he seems to only have a pair of 'eagle eyes' that can see through the true face of the monster Vison hiding in the human world.

Throughout history, Grimm has been hunting these Visen monsters. The Visen monsters are terrified of Grimm's name. Of course, some powerful monsters have also become Grimm hunters to hunt Grimm in return.

Mr. Su had watched the show but hadn't finished it, so he wasn't clear about some of the later parts, but he was aware of some of the earlier settings.

The one following Joe Martinez is actually a Vison Monster? What a pleasant surprise! Finally, another American TV series with all sorts of supernatural creatures!

This show features the most diverse range of supernatural creatures known to date, second only to Supernatural. It surpasses True Blood, The Power of Vampire, and Midnight in Texas. Perhaps even the shadow creatures in Shadowhunters could rival it.

"You're so proud of yourself for making it impossible for me to work properly and for being followed by reporters, aren't you?" Joe Martinez frowned in displeasure when he saw Su's lips curl into a smile.

Ms. Su shook her head: "You don't understand."

"I don't understand the thinking of you rich people. I was just issuing you a ticket, I didn't do anything wrong, why are you treating me like this?" Joe Martinez felt more and more aggrieved and angry. Was it wrong of me to follow the rules? Does money have to be above everything?

"The ant did nothing but get trampled to death by passersby. What did the ant do wrong?" Su looked at Joe Martinez seriously and said, "You need to know that in this world, it's impossible to please everyone. No matter how outstanding you are, there will be people who look down on you. No matter how kind you are, there will be people who say you are hypocritical. No matter how right you are, there will still be people who cause you trouble."

Joe Martinez frowned and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

"I just want to tell you that sometimes reason and truth are useless. The person who wronged you knows better than you do how wronged you are, and the person who bullied you knows better than you do how innocent you are. You can reason with people, but when reason doesn't work, you should try another method instead of wallowing in self-pity, which is useless."

Joe Martinez snorted, "So you want me to stop reasoning with you?"

Su smiled brightly: "No, I just want to tell you that you can choose to join if you can't beat them. There's no chance of winning in a fight to the death, and surrendering means you lose half the battle. Just join the other side, and you'll win!"

"Nonsense!" Joe Martinez was speechless. What kind of toxic motivational quote was this?

Su shrugged: "Of course I know it's fallacy. If it's not fallacy, do you expect me to reason with you? If I wanted to reason with you, would I have waited until now?"

Joe Martinez said irritably, "You might as well just say you're trying to bully me and act like a scoundrel. Why go through all this trouble?"

"I didn't beat around the bush. I made it very clear when you gave me the ticket. You're the one who hasn't gotten over it, okay? Besides, you can't be hypocritical. Even though it affected you, didn't it bring you any benefits at all?"

Chapter 154 Wildcat Spirit? Grimm's Fairy Tales? Andersen's Fairy Tales?

Joe Martinez opened her mouth but ultimately didn't speak. Regardless of whether the current outcome was what she wanted, she had indeed gained many benefits from her relationship with the Su family.

Now, colleagues, whether they know her or not, are all proactive and enthusiastic towards her, and even her immediate supervisor is somewhat polite to her. Especially today, her job nature has changed; she has gone from a traffic cop issuing tickets to a detective in charge of criminal cases. She herself wouldn't believe it if it weren't for the Su family's connection.

A haughty refusal to accept a promotion? Joe Martinez was reluctant to give up this opportunity; she knew very well how long it would normally take to become a detective.

Thank the Su family? Joe Martinez couldn't do that; he hadn't completely gotten over the frustration of being taught a lesson by money.

Simply put, it's stuck in the middle, feeling uncomfortable on both ends.

"Tell me what you've been doing lately, why you've been followed, and whether that guy did anything unusual when he was with you." Su didn't care much about what Joe Martinez thought; he was more interested in why that monster Vison was following her.

At this moment, the monster Vison had already turned and left the vicinity of the apartment. The shadow clone from before was secretly following behind, watching to see if it could find anything.

“I need a drink to calm down.” Joe Martinez rubbed his shoulders and back. “I wasn’t hurt when someone followed me, but you almost broke me with that over-the-shoulder throw.”

"Are you sure you want to complain about this?" Su said casually as she walked to the wine cabinet. "If you want to complain about this, then I'll have to have a word with you."

"No, I won't say anymore," Joe Martinez quickly stopped her. She didn't want to hear any toxic motivational speeches, and besides, she didn't really have much confidence in what she was saying.

She was being followed and happened to see Su about to close the door and go inside. She didn't know what she was thinking at the time. Maybe she felt that Su was trustworthy? Or maybe she felt safe? Anyway, without thinking much, she rushed over to Su's house to hide and observe who was following her.

Joe Martinez found it ridiculous. She had only met Su once, and neither the meeting nor the outcome was pleasant. How could she possibly trust him and feel safe with him? This was a topic she couldn't discuss; talking about it too much would only make things awkward for her.

Sitting on the expensive sofa, drinking wine he probably wouldn't have been able to afford in his lifetime, Joe Martinez, having calmed down, recounted his experiences over the past few days and his interactions with that person to Su Shi, while also analyzing the reasons in his mind.

In the TV series, Joe Martinez is indeed a very capable detective. Her reasoning and crime-solving abilities are quite strong and still are. However, she has considered many possibilities but rejected them all. She really can't figure out the other person's motive for following her.

The most likely explanation is that the other person likes you and deliberately created several opportunities to meet you. Today, they followed you to find out your address so that they can create opportunities to meet in the future.

This is the most logical and normal possibility, but for some reason, Joe Martinez instinctively denied this possibility, especially since she could feel the malice of the person following her when she was being followed before. It was an undisguised malice.

"After all I've said, what conclusion have you drawn?" Joe Martinez didn't believe that someone as wealthy as the Su family could be more capable than someone in his field.

To everyone's surprise, Mrs. Su nodded: "He does have some ideas. He might be approaching you for money or to get revenge on you."

"What's the reason?"

“The previous few contacts all took place near the police station, which means he either lives or works nearby. His first contact with you was after I donated money to you. It is very likely that he heard about the relationship between you and me and deliberately created an opportunity to get close to you and get to know you in order to obtain money through normal or abnormal means.”

"The normal way is to date you, the abnormal way is to break into your house and steal from you."

Assuming Joe Martinez really has a relationship with the Su family, and the Su family is willing to donate millions to her, it's impossible that they wouldn't give her money or anything of value, right?

It's possible that a scumbag might deliberately get together with a woman under the guise of a relationship to cheat her out of money, or even trick her into getting money from him.

Needless to say, burglary is another matter entirely.

"The most likely basis for this is that the other party is indeed a scumbag who deceives people emotionally and financially, but it's hard to be sure of that at the moment!" Joe Martinez said.

Su shrugged and continued, "As for retaliation, it might be because you gave them a parking ticket before or something."

"Do you think everyone is like you?"

Su chuckled and said, "Why don't you go back to the police station and investigate to find out the reason?"

Joe Martinez was taken aback for a moment, then realized that he was now a detective and did indeed have the authority to investigate more information.

"I'm going right now." Joe Martinez got up decisively, went out the door, and ran quickly out of the community to hail a taxi back to the police station.

Watching Joe Martinez leave in a hurry, Su shrugged and immediately recalled the shadow clone that had been tracking the monster, Vison.

Memories of the shadow clone flooded into Su Shi's mind. After a moment of digestion, Su Shi vanished using a Flying Thunder God Technique.

The next moment, Su appeared silently in front of a villa that looked quite upscale.

"Snapped!"

Just then, a light came on in one of the rooms of the villa, and a figure appeared by the window—it was the same Vison monster from before.

Su opened her eyes and found that only the monster Vison was in the entire villa, but some details in the villa indicated that there were other people living there, and they were women.

Interestingly, in a corner cabinet, there was a box containing a photo of an unfamiliar woman and a strange man. The photo showed them to be very intimate, like a picture of a married couple.

Key points: strange women and strange men, but the monster Vison is obviously not among them. There are photos of other people in the villa, as well as traces of a woman's life there.

The situation is quite simple, isn't it?

This villa should belong to that strange woman. She has divorced or broken up with her partner, and the monster Vison lives with her. All signs indicate that the two are cohabiting.

Judging from the villa's environment and conditions, it's clear that Vison Monster's quality of life must be quite good. As for whose money he's spending, that's another story. So, it's unlikely that he's following Joe Martinez out of revenge. Therefore... the possibility of him being after money is extremely high.

This monster, Vison, looks a bit like a monkey and a cat at the same time, with its entire head covered in fur. Based on Sue's viewing progress of the series, he doesn't remember there being a monkey demon in it, so the possibility of it being a cat demon is extremely high. And it seems that there was a story about a cat demon in the first season, which was a wild cat spirit and a robin spirit.

The story appears to be adapted from "The Nightingale," but not a Grimm's fairy tale; it's an Andersen's fairy tale.
